PTSD test

I just took the PTSD test and scored a 22. They suggest you may suffer PTSD and suggest therapy for a score over 14. I started a new job recently, but I decided to stay at my old job. The person training me was such a bully, berating and insulting me every day. The last time I worked in a situation like that I became so depressed and suicidal. I do not want to look at a situation like that again.

first breath and relax. if this was online test here or elsewhere these online tests are not for diagnosis purposes. they don't tell you anything other than how you answered the questions at the moment that you took the "tests"

online tests are very misleading because they are missing very important key questions and elements to the diagnosis process.

for example online tests don't take into consideration your medications, your medication side effects, your religion, your cultural background, how honest you are answering the questions (lets be honest here I have been known to hesitate and rethink and over think, change my answers and even do the online test questions more than once to appear one way or another or anything else) online tests also do not include the face to face interview questions and background that a psychiatrist factors into the results of the test.

online tests are just copies of outdated tests that someone somewhere edited and posted. the PTSD online test is supposed to tell everyone who takes it that they have PTSD problems of some kind, just like the outdated and missing key questions and elements of thee MMPI will tell everyone who takes it that they have various degrees of mental disorders, why because that's what that website that its on is for. it may be a PTSD website so of course the PTSD test is going to tell people they have so much PTSD in them.

my suggestion is take these online tests for what they are meant to be for... entertainment purposes to show you how you are answering the questions at the moment that you take their "test", that its not for diagnostic purposes according to their disclaimers and to contact your own treatment providers for actual diagnostic evaluations.

on a more personal note to show you how unreliable and way off base these online tests actually are.. one told me that I had erectile dysfunction (a problem that only men have) Im female, its impossible for me to have this problem since I do not have the male anatomy to have this problem with lmao.

my suggestion is if you really want to know whether you have PTSD or not contact a mental health treatment provider in your off the computer location, actually go for a psychiatric evaluation which includes more than just an online incomplete and outdated test someone posted online for fun and entertainment.

Thanks for your help. Oddly enough, since I made this post, I received emails from the employer I left, (the employer that had a bully for a trainer) and from the accounting teacher who referred me for the job. The wanted to know exactly why I left the job. In the most professional and pleasant way I could word it, I told them the truth. I think the employer already knew the girl who was training me had an attitude problem. I hated having to explain myself, but all this forced me to deal with it.
